Also there is very interesting session about WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) by Celso Gomes, Designer. He introduced the first preview of Windows Expression Blend. Despite there are a few designer, he excellently demoed Blend to us. He gave the step-by-step tutorial to make 2D and 3D animation and slideshow with Microsoft Expression Blend. The demo clips is now available captured by me. In my thought, it seems to be a mix of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The user interface is very free and smooth to treat behavior of design objects.

In 2015, I don’t think you’re going to be able to say that. That’s my vision and the timeline I’m working on.” I want to do that. Sam emphasized interoperablity between Windows Platform and various open source softwares. Most of customers have felt ...
